Abstract:Fired clay masonry blocks are one of the most common building elements in Europe to construct thermal envelopes of buildings. However, due to current energy performance requirements, thermal insulation of buildings has become inevitable. Brick producers, therefore, started to develop their products and, as a possible solution, they come up with thermal insulation filled masonry blocks, which meet the energy performance requirements without the need of additional external insulation. However, there is still con… Show more
